I was looking for a shot of some U.S. holographic envelopes I had digitized from
some 35mm slides at one time and came across this scan of MNH U.S. 3-cent
commemorative lots I was offering on ebay 4 or 5 years ago. They make a colorful
display.

See any $300 centering among them?

Sorry to have to have added "Copyright Protected" but I don't want this used
as artwork on someone's website.

I don't know about the centering but PSE would be more than happy to grade them all from center to gum to perfs to freshness.

So in effect you have more than $300 setting there of course after you pay your bill and add on the extra cost for grading to each stamp.

LOL

The lots consisted of 100 different. Started the auctions at face -- $3 -- and they probably sold for well under $10 per lot.

So how much do they charge for grading? That is what it's all about, isn't it?

I do like the stamps of that era. There are so many interesting topics. As for $300 CV maybe in another 100 years.

You have any more lots? I'd give you ten.

Sorry, most of the mint U.S. my father had accumulated was the first to go -- a lot of it in full sheets.
That was before I had decided to take up collecting again. Wish I had kept one for myself! Have a few
3-cent commems left, but the lots would be very small.

I see at least three that should grade out to $100+. Too bad you don't still have them.
